The Original U.S.S. Enterprise Undergoing Repair In Spacedock

The original miniature model of the USS Enterprise is a national treasure as far as I’m concerned. It is now being readied for display in its new home in the new Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

It is currently at the Udvar-Hazy Center, where it is being looked over by the restoration team to see what needs to be done. They are looking at how well it has held up, how well past restoration has fared and generally scrutinizing her. Recently the Center had an open day, where people could check out the Enterprise model and so we have some cool images like the ones seen here. After all of these years, she remains a beautiful ship.

This Homemade Super Star Destroyer Has Lights And Sound

This home built scale model of an Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer was made by Fabio Delfino. It’s pretty stunning and even has a ton of tiny lights all over as well as sound. The model is based on the Star Wars: Dark Empire comic books and it was built with over 3000 pieces.

You are the man Fabio. You should definitely be working for the Empire.

Star Trek LEGO Figures

Etsy seller Bricknut has some fun and cool LEGO Star Trek figures, just in case you have a LEGO Enterprise bridge that needs to be manned. You can get Riker,Worf, Geordi LaForge and Captain Picard. They are pretty unique and would look great on any geek shelf.

Do yourself a favor and check out his other LEGO figures while you are there. The seller also has several Marvel and DC characters. Hopefully they will add more, because I would love to see what he can do with Doctor Who characters.

Haynes Manual Press-Out And Build USS Enterprise

A newly released Star Trek Haynes Manual offers something a little different. The Haynes USS Enterprise Press-Out and Build Manual, is part book, part model kit, all awesome! Inside you will find a cardboard kit that builds a fifty centimeter long model of the original USS Enterprise.

The book itself focuses on all the main starships Enterprise. That’s cool and all, but…You can build the Enterprise! I don’t know about you, but I’m buying this one. One can only hope that they release more ships. I’d like to see a Klingon Bird of Prey and a Miranda Class ship. Check out the videos below to see how the model is built.

U.S.S. Reliant 1:250 Scale Artisan Replica

This replica of the U.S.S. Reliant is insanely detailed and QMX has really outdone themselves this time. This huge Artisan Replica the Miranda class starship from Wrath of Khan just begs to be stared at with your jaw dropping open.

This 1:250 scale ship is 37″ long and over 20″ wide. It has tons of LEDs that light up the nacelles and other windows and even has sound options that recreate the effect of phasers firing. The base even has it’s own lighting to simulate the glow of a Nebula. There are even crew members and shuttles in the Shuttlebay. There will only be 500 ever made. It’s no wonder this beauty will cost us $9,995. You can pre-order it right now from QMX.
